Valenciano Valcárcel, Javier; Jiménez-Loaisa, Alejandro; Rieiro, Ignacio; Martínez-Martínez, Jesús – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study examines the convergent validity of the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (PAQ-C) for assessing moderate-to-vigorous and total physical activity (PA) in school children. 430 participants (51.6% girls) aged 9-12 years provided valid accelerometer data (wGT3X-BT) and completed the PAQ-C. Convergent validity was assessed using…

van Veen, Carmen; Schott, Nadja; Lander, Natalie; Tietjens, Maike; Hinkley, Trina; Dreiskämper, Dennis; Holfelder, Benjamin; Utesch, Till; Barnett, Lisa M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Children's positive perceived motor competence (PMC) provides motivation for physical activity. Theoretically young children (<8 years) have inflated PMC but as children cognitively develop, perceptions are hypothesized to decrease. This study investigated strength of PMC association over time, whether any change was negative (i.e. PMC…

Wright, Paul M.; Craig, Mark W. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2011
Numerous scholars have stressed the importance of personal and social responsibility in physical activity settings; however, there is a lack of instrumentation to study the implementation of responsibility-based teaching strategies. The development, content validity, and initial inter-rater reliability testing of the Tool for Assessing…

Interinstrument Consistency of the Yamax Digi-Walker Pedometer in Elementary School-Aged Children
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Barfield, J. P.; Rowe, David A.; Michael, Timothy J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2004
A pedometer is a practical, inexpensive tool used to measure physical activity. Bassett et al. (1996) found that interinstrument consistency of the Yamax Digi-Walker was higher than four other pedometers when measuring distance walked in adults. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interinstrument consistency of the Yamax pedometer in…
